I am 24 years old and I am engaged here to an American girl, but I want to go home to Italy. I do not like it here.

The problem is that my Immigration paperwork is being processed, but in meantime my Italian passport expired, and the Italian Consulate will not renew it until I have legal American papers.

I don't know how long the papers will take, but I want to go home.

I do not come from a desperate poor country like the other immigrants from South America or Mexico or Africa. I am European and I want to go home.

What can I do to get my passport quick so I can leave?

The people are nice here, but the culture I don't like. The food, the cities, the night life it is all so boring here and so sad. This country would kill my soul.

I love Italy and I love Europe.

Here you have to eat nasty doughnuts from a box, drink coffee from Starbucks, buy chinese junk and live in a big wood house.

This country is like a meal from McDonald's. You can only like it if it is all you know or

MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR NEXT SATURDAY.


As you may already know, it is a sin for a Muslim male to see any woman other than his wife naked, and that he must commit suicide if he does.

So next Saturday at 4 PM. Eastern Time all American women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked to help weed out any neighborhood terrorists.

Circling your block for one hour is recommended for this anti-terrorist effort. All men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their house to prove they are not Muslim Terrorists, and to demonstrate they think its okay to see nude women other than their wife. This effort will also show support for all American women. Since Islam also does not approve of alcohol, a cold 6-pack at your side is further proof that you are not a Muslim Terrorist.

The American government appreciates your effort and great sacrifice to root out terrorists and applauds your participation in this anti-terrorist activity.

It is your patriotic duty to pass this on.

God bless America.

Eight's Economics

Most haves went to economic heaven.
Middle ground became hazy.
Multudes struggled to hang-on.
Mincing anxiety about starvation produced political helplessness.
Mighty monoplies trimmed and downsized while humming hym of human hustle:
Must trim or existance will halt.
More meager wages produced huge profits, but little capital harboring.
Mighty golden parachutes prevailed offer most little help.
Malignancy of deficits rewarded hoarders by keeping prime high.
Most media kept haranguing: Trickle down will happen,
Many have nots got sent to economic hell while working forty hours.
Might just hummed: Turning Future Shock into Future Shaft is a must!

Now with foley and many republicans mollesting and supporting the mollestation of young children, I feel republicans should be screened and put under a lie detector test. We need to save and protect our children and family.

Foley was supposed to protect children NOT try to mollest young boys.

WANT TO KNOW THE FUNNY PART? NOT ONE REPUBLICAN HAS DENOUNCED FOLEY FOR HIS CRIMINAL ACTS! NOT ONE!

Bush Given Authority To Sexually Torture American Children
The "horror of the shrieking boys" gets a rubber stamp from the boot-licking U.S. Congress & Senate as America officially becomes a dictatorship

Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | September 29 2006

Slamming the final nail in the coffin of everything America used to stand for, the boot-licking U.S. Senate last night gave President Bush the legal authority to abduct and sexually mutilate American citizens and American children in the name of the war on terror.

There is nothing in the "detainee" legislation that protects American citizens from being kidnapped by their own government and tortured.

Yale Law Professor Bruce Ackerman states in the L.A. Times, "The compromise legislation....authorizes the president to seize American citizens as enemy combatants, even if they have never left the United States. And once thrown into military prison, they cannot expect a trial by their peers or any other of the normal protections of the Bill of Rights."

Similarly, law Professor Marty Lederman explains: "this [subsection (ii) of the definition of 'unlawful enemy combatant'] means that if the Pentagon says you're an unlawful enemy combatant -- using whatever criteria they wish -- then as far as Congress, and U.S. law, is concerned, you are one, whether or not you have had any connection to 'hostilities' at all."

We have established that the bill allows the President to define American citizens as enemy combatants. Now let's take it one step further.

Before this article is dismissed as another extremist hyperbolic rant, please take a few minutes out of your day to check for yourself the claim that Bush now has not only the legal authority but the active blessings of his own advisors to torture American children.

The backdrop of the Bush administration's push to obliterate the Geneva Conventions was encapsulated b y John “torture” Yoo, professor of law at Berkeley, co-author of the PATRIOT Act, author of torture memos and White House advisor.

During a December 1st debate in Chicago with Notre Dame professor and international human rights scholar Doug Cassel, John Yoo gave the green light for the scope of torture to legally include sexual torture of infants.

Cassel: If the president deems that he's got to torture somebody, including by crushing the testicles of the person's child, there is no law that can stop him?

Yoo: No treaty.

Cassel: Also no law by Congress — that is what you wrote in the August 2002 memo…

Yoo: I think it depends on why the President thinks he needs to do that.

Click here for the audio.

So if the President thinks he needs to order children's penises to be put in vices, there is no law that can stop him and after last night's vote, the Senate and Congress, exemplified by sicko 16-year-old boy groomer Mark Foley (R-FL) , has graciously provided Bush its full support for kids around the world to be molested in the name of stopping terror.

Yoo's comments were made before the passage of the torture legislation last night. Up until that point Bush had merely cited his role as dictator-in-chief as carte-blanche excuse for ordering torture - now his regime have the audacity to openly put it in writing - going one step further than even the Nazis did.

Again, for those who are still deluded into thinking the extent of the "pressure" is loud music and cold water being thrown over Johnny Jihad in Ragheadistan, consider for a moment the fact that your own Congress and President who, according to the Constitution, are mandated to serve you, have just legalized abducting your kids from your home and electric shocking their genitals.

Now that the criminals have declared themselves outside of the law does that mean we'll see Bush barbecuing babies on the White House lawn? Of course not, but the policy of torturing children in front of their parents has already been signed off on by the Pentagon and enacted under the Copper Green program and it happened at Abu Ghraib .

Women who were arrested with their children were forced to watch their boys being sodomized with chemical glow sticks as the cameras rolled. Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh says that the U.S. government is still withholding the tapes because of the horror of the "soundtrack of the shrieking boys" and their mothers begging to be killed in favor of seeing their children raped and tortured.

Your government has just lobbied for and Congress has passed legislation to discard the Geneva Conventions and mandate all this.

Pedophiles nationwide should rejoice - they can comfortably take a stroll down to the local swimming pool, grab whoever they like, drag them home, rape and torture them, and then in their defense cite the U.S. government as an example of how one should conduct themselves.



The bill also retroactively gives Bush, the Neo-Cons or any of their henchmen immunity from war crimes charges dating back to September 11 . Ask yourself why they would be so careful to protect themselves from accusations of war crimes.

Could that possibly be because they are knowingly committing war crimes?

The legislating of torture itself should be a criminal act. All laws that contradict the U.S. Constitution are null and void. It was once a law that black people were slaves.

Only by engaging in civil disobedience and refusing to tolerate or acknowledge the laws of a criminal regime that has greased the skids for sexually torturing kids can we ever have a hope of returning America to its past glory.
